"Virtual Reality tackles tough questions" - 1 views

  •  
    Scientists in Barcelona have constructed a technological device, enabling users to engage and "live" within a virtual reality; this digital world however, is bound by the oppressive and devastating human conditions experienced by the victimized individuals of physical and verbal maltreatment. The device, although it may conjure ethical realizations within the user's mind, also poses as an ethical dilemma for it brings the cruel severity of the downtrodden and exploited people into visual and mental display terrorizing the emotional stability of the participants.

    Technological breakthroughs in decoding the human mind have blossomed ever since the invention of a device through which users are immersed within a virtual reality, to live and experience the trauma and distressing scenarios of people victimized by physical as well as emotional abuse. Developed by a team of Spanish scientists, this device is breaking down the mind's irrational judgement in relation to discriminatory or wrongful perceptions against others. The user of the device, once transported into the anguished lives of the virtual characters, comes face to face with the agony of living through abusive violence, and begins to form a clearer impression about the effects of such experiences upon the lifestyle, behavior and well being of any victim. In doing so, the participant ultimately widens the boundaries of his mental state of thought, and begins to appreciate and acknowledge the peace given by a happy life rid of gnawing internal complications. However, in engaging with such a virtual reality the user becomes an unshielded target of bitter misery, felt and illustrated by the depictions seen through the device. The software that is included in this article is the technological device that offers an entrance into the virtual world for the user. The stakeholders within this article are the users of the device, whose mental and emotional stability is controlled by the virtual reality developed by the scientists. The scientists hold the success of the entire experiment in the palm of their hands, and really are the source of the effect upon human behavior. One has to take into consideration the physical and psychological considerations (in "Health" scenario) of technology on the user of this particular device; although this device does help others modify their morality as they expand their considerations for the factors that have made people what they are today. The device however, does inflict the same trauma and terror depicted by the gestures and movements

    I agree with the ethical and social concerns involved within your article. Although there are some benefits of recognizing the pain and violence inflicted on others, it can cause emotional stigma and trauma upon the person who is using this technological device. Technology controls our ethical morality, in developing software that explores the way the human brain works we destroy this boundary of what is right and wrong because we begin to focus on research and forget the effects involved. In this case, those involved in the experiment are unaware of the effects that this virtual reality exposed to the user will eventually have on them mentally and emotionally.

Texas man claims Droid 2 exploded in his ear | Electronista - 1 views

    This specific article pertains to a health issue regarding a cellular phone. The specific stakeholders here are Verizon and this man whom allegedly had his phone blow up while using it, injuring his ear. He has suffered no hearing problems, but Verizon will be held at a legal case against this, or so the man, named Embry, says. This relates to health considerations, because the main problem here is that a man got injured and this was not good. This telephone was an Android Verizon Phone, one of the latest phones out. The cause to this problem is unknown, but Verizon will definitely have a lawsuit against them, since this was a threat to safety, and looking at the photo, you can tell that this mans ear was injured. This could also be fraud, a way for a man to make money off of a company by faking an injury. The battery to the phone remains unaffected, which begs the question of what possibly could have set the explosion to this screen, if anything? It isn't something we can know at the moment, but the investigation will definitely give answers. Is any user of a cell phone safe if the top notch cell phone that just came out exploded? This could be a danger to many people, not only just Embry, who might have been lucky to survive the encounter.
